Why is Twisted Tenderness on there? Is the song that old, but didn't get released 'till the third album? I'd be interested to hear different versions of that. Great song.

A very peculiar track listing. Claiming edits as unreleased...does not attract me. The use of CD space is hardly optimal either.

The bonus disc, as we can see from the tracklisting, includes songs from each of their CDs.

Bonus disc is a bit of an odd bunch. Twisted Tenderness from 1999 and disappointed would have sat better on the second electronic album (Raise The Pressure).

I saw this info on facebook this morning. While it will be great to have the remaster (bloody CD player in the car has scratched the surface of my CD), I agree that the CD space wasn't optimally used. For the first CD, the B-sides could have been lumped on to there. And for the second CD, put unreleased songs / edits / remixes to pad that out. That is a bit odd that the second CD isn't strictly first album stuff. I mean, if they're going to make the second CD a hodge podge of unreleased stuff, then why wasn't the edit of Tighten Up (which was only issued on the U.S. promo CD) included?

Would have liked to see a bonus DVD of the videos and the TOTP appearances with Neil on 'Getting Away With It' & 'Disappointed'

That is a SERIOUSLY odd tracklisting, but bloody brilliant - I've always loved Twisted Tenderness. It draws aline under the other 2 albums getting a reissue though.

No 12"extended version of patience of a saint? ;-)

Strange that they've kept GAWI in with the main album, even though it wasn't included in the original release.

It was on the European release. My CD has it.

Looking forward to this even though 2nd CD seems somewhat cobbled together! Nice to have this remastered.

Yes, who the hell compiled this? Shame on you. The bonus disc is all over the place.

Patience of a saint earlier mix (with the actual mix involving PSB) exists, if you read between the lines in an early 1991 issue of Literally. It would have been a good opportunity to release this. Are you saying there is a 12" version as well? Or is that just wishful thinking?

And where is LUCKY BAG?

I didn't think it was included in any versions until the 1994 remaster. I think it should be on disc 2.

Not on my UK bought version - the one with the orange background.

+1 to Twisted Tenderness being a brilliant track - it's the best thing on the last Electronic album by miles. Aaah Electronic, would love a fourth proper album - with PSB guesting of course.
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional
